Horizontal Oval Wall Clock in Brushed Aluminum by Metal Petal Art

Sondra Gerber of Metal Petal Art creates this Horizontal Oval Wall Clock made from from brushed aluminum. Each one is intricately cut, layered, formed by hand and brushed with reflective patterns. Carefully planned out textures and cutouts create depth and shadows. Her pieces are inspired by nature, with an added whimsical feel. Handmade in the USA.

Sondra Gerber graduated from Colorado Art Institute in 1994 with a design degree. Early on, she began to explore three-dimensional design with a variety of mediums ranging from fabric to wood to wire. Her career as a metal sculptor began when she took her first welding class in 2001.

Sondra’s aluminum sculptures have an intimate interaction between shape, shadow, reflection and movement. The use of positive and negative shapes within the intricate cut of her designs cast alluring shadows that interact with the piece itself. Carefully planned out patterns and textures are ground into the surface to reflect light, creating the appearance of movement. This is the hallmark of her work.

Sondra has created commissioned indoor and outdoor sculptures for both corporate and residential clients across the country. She has also donated her time and artwork to hospitals and nonprofits. In addition to private and corporate collections, her work is exhibited in over sixty galleries and museums nationwide. In 2008 she was featured demonstrating her craft on HGTV.
